Live Cycling: Tour De France2pm, ITV4

After Team GB's Olympic successes last year, cycling has captured the popular imagination, the sport's mix of physical demands and longform strategy particularly rewarding at the Tour De France. Cycling's premier event is this year celebrating its 100th year with what is held to be a particularly arduous course. Today's coverage picks the contest up after a rest day, at stage 10: between St Gildas-des-Bois and Saint-Malo. What lies ahead is 122 miles of racing on the flat. A Cavendish win, maybe?

The Murder Trial9pm, Channel 4

In 2003, Scottish businessman Nat Fraser was found guilty of murdering his wife Arlene five years earlier, and jailed for at least 25 years (in the absence of a body, a rare occurrence in Scottish legal history). Fraser appealed against the verdict – a process that took several years – and had the conviction quashed. Then, in April last year, he was sent back to the High Court in Edinburgh for a fresh trial. This documentary was recorded over six weeks, and follows this latest leg of a complex 15-year-old case. Bim Adewunmi

Luther9pm, BBC1

"You're such a gentle man," says Luther's potential new beau, Mary. The DCI is not so sure, and you can see his point, considering his professional life is currently defined by the hunt for a fetishist serial killer. Cue scenes of a really quite disturbing nature. Meanwhile, the investigation into Luther himself continues, with hints that DSU Stark may be operating even further off the reservation than his quarry. A series that wears its violently hyperreal daffiness on its sleeve. Excellent. Jonathan Wright

Piper Alpha: Fire In The Night9pm, BBC2

"It wasn't as if I had an option … I thought drowning might be an easier death than burning." Former Piper Alpha instrument technician Roy Carey there, recalling the day in July 1988 when an inferno turned a giant, sprawling oil rig into a disaster zone. On the 25th anniversary of the world's worst offshore oil disaster (it claimed 167 lives in two hours), some of the 61 survivors tell their harrowing stories – some publicly for the first time – in this hugely affecting documentary-cum-dramatic reconstruction.

Robson Green: How The North Was Built9pm, ITV

Robson Green presents a two-part look at the pivotal contribution of the north of England to the industrial revolution. In this first episode, he examines how the coal industry shaped both the rapid expansion of cities in the north and his own family. From the profits of the cotton mills creating the backbone of Manchester to the railways and canals that provided vital infrastructure and distribution channels, it's a personal journey as well as a historical one, and all the better for it.

Football's Suicide Secret9pm, BBC3

The issue of mental health within football has been the subject of much attention in recent years, prompted in part by the suicides of Robert Enke in 2009 and Gary Speed two years later. In this one-off, PFA chairman and ex-footballer Clarke Carlisle – who himself has dealt with depression in the past – considers whether the game is sufficiently supportive towards those with mental illnesses, discussing the issue with former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan, manager Aidy Boothroyd and footballer-turned-boxer Leon McKenzie.

Hannibal10pm, Sky Living

If you're the kind of person who fears a pair of mysterious hands suddenly appearing from under your bed, look away now. Will's mental state is more fragile than ever and when he comes up against this classic horror movie-style case of a young woman who was murdered and mutilated while she was home alone, he loses it. Hannibal can smell that something's not right with him, so he refers him to a specialist, but will he tell Will the truth about his test results? Shudder. Hannah Verdier

Imagine – Rod Stewart: Can't Stop Me Now10.35pm, BBC1

In the eyes of some, Rod Stewart is ripe for a send-up. That, of course, doesn't really suit Alan Yentob's celeb interview style, and also reckons without Rod's intelligence and self-knowledge. Filmed around the release of his new album, this also makes liberal use of archive footage, particularly of his dad, a north London grocer who told him "every man should have a job, a sport and a hobby". Duly, Rod displays frankness on singing, football and his twin passions: blondes and model trains. JR
